Six months old and mommy's still sane...ish

Yes, my little bundle of joy turned SIX months old last week. While I still moan a lot about all my lost "me" time, I thoroughly enjoy her company...she's a total hoot! She is always smiling and laughing...and she is CRAZY about jumping (almost "crazy" crazy if you know what I mean). We have to take her out of the jumperoo sometimes because she is all sweaty and whiny, but still jumping like a mad woman. She can jump for HOURS, which means she has Dan's energy. Which probably also means I will never sleep a full night again.

Recent Milestones:
- She got her first tooth on Christmas Eve. Tooth #2 peeked through on Jan.11, her six-month birthday. And if you think you can't be bitten with just one tooth, THINK AGAIN. She has literally taken a few chunks out of the "hand that feeds her," but has steered clear of more sensitive areas. Smart baby! :)
- She's ready to crawl. Every day she is up on all fours, rocking forward and backward, but still hasn't quite gotten that forward momentum.
- She LOVES grabbing things, especially handfuls of hair out of parents, dogs, cats, etc. She even ripped a handful out of her own head last week!

As for me, I have taken up gardening…Chia Herb gardening to be more specific. (Yes, that is about all I have time for these days.) I am happy to report that my chives, basil and dill are doing very well, but the parsley is kind of wilted and puny. Dan says it’s a fake spice, so I am not going to beat myself up over it. ;)
